Dear Friends, Wikipedia's New Editorial Line of Defense The managers of Wikipedia have reportedly decided to begin controlling exactly what may be written on the pages of the online encyclopedia, at least as far as entries about still-living persons are concerned. The move is a step back from the site's everyone's-an-editor stance, but it might also say something about Wikipedia's role as a widely viewed repository of information.

Dear All, LIS-Forum was launched in November, 1994 by NCSI under the leadership of late Dr. T.B. Rajashekar as a current awareness tool for improving professional knowledge and competence of LIS professionals in India. The vision of Dr Rajashekar has benefited all library & information professionals in enhancing their knowledge and also helped in professional networking. Time keeps moving & with it brings in a lot of changes in all aspects. In the recent years, the changes in technological areas are tremendous with Web 2.0 applications. The success of web 2.0 applications can be evidenced with the high usage rate of Blogs, Wikis, Social Networking Sites, etc. So, the way people communicate & collaborate is taking a new shape. Professional/Social Networking sites like LinkedIn.com, FaceBook.com, etc are being used by most of the people across the world to communicate & collaborate for professional & personal needs. So, in view of the developments in the professional networking area, do you think it's time for LIS-Forum to move on to the next level of communication & collaboration by having a "professional networking site"? Your feedback please Few Benefits of Professional Networking Sites: (1) User details will help to know each other better (2) Helps in networking & expanding network easily (3) Helps in locating experts (4) Serves as a knowledge repository (5) Discussions can be categorized (6) Each member can have their own space/presence If the responses are positive for having a LIS-Forum professional network site, then NCSI may kindly take up this suitably & explore the options.
